Here's a photo I took just minutes ago...
My 4 year old fast asleep in a hammock. :D
Proud dad moment.
Ranks right up there with his first proper ride on his bike.

Brilliant!
Definitely best to get them hooked young, picked up new bikes for my youngest 2 today and Max probably broke the record for how quick you can crash your new bike managed about 30m on ice before loosing it on a slope - didnt put him off though!
Now to make more frame bags for them

I've had a lie in it, it took my weight but it's quite small so I doubt you could get a comfy nights sleep.
Have you tried the Woodsman yet?

Yes, it's comfy and light enough ... the knotted ends put me off though, I've visions of them coming undone

Excellent!
Been thinking of getting Alpkit framebags for my two's bikes now they've both swapped onto a bigger bike.
Anyone tried the Alpkit kids sleeping bags?
Should be getting them out properly this spring/summer now they are both old enough for shorter trips :) :)

They hold my substantial girth so I doubt you've got owt to worry about.

Try Wildcat for mini frame bags,

I got my 7 year old the Alpkit bag. It's good, warm and not too bulky.
I suspect I have more girth than FF and have used a proto Woodman X. Held me fine. Mat (mr ukhammocks) also used it before me and he's no featherweight. You'll be fine Stu 8-)
